-Struggles of pursuing a career as an artist-

lyrics

(Verse 1)
I got my lights cut off
And now I'm living in darkness (why?)
Because my 9-5 don't pay enough for me to even afford this.
I sit at home and write
Another song, That's a hit.
But it never goes anywhere
No one is here to listen to it

(P.C.)
I stare and rip myself apart
I take a note then music starts
Spilling everything, my heart
Then I realize

(Chorus)2X
It's not what you can do it's who you know
For Sure
Take a note, Take a note, Take a note, Take a note
Take a number

(Verse 2)
I took a hint from myself
Grabbed the bag and the cell and I went networking
My net worth isn't worth not a damn
But she makes a couple million twerking
I talk and talk yet no one seems to help me change my life
Am I doing this right? Am I doing this right?

Your beats are sick but
All of it just sounds too jazzy
There's no room in the market for that
If you'd ask me.
Well guess what I didn't
Imma take my CDs home and spin them
You don't have to like what I do and how I did them
Just don't be mad when they hit and you aint in them

I open up my eyes
I see darkness
I wash away my pride
And All my progress
Then the water turned cold
Went into a shock so I stop drop and roll
Now I'm on the floor and I covered in soap

I did everything that I thought I'm supposed to do
I tried real hard but everything keeps falling through
So I put that white to that graphite
Exercise my rights but I'm half right
Living all up tight in a limelight
That I never even had but I'll still fight

(P.C.)
I stare and rip myself apart
I take a note then music starts
Spilling everything, my heart
Then I realize .... AAAAAHHHH

(Chorus)2X
It's not what you can do it's who you know
For Sure
Take a note, Take a note, Take a note, Take a note
Take a number

(Ad Lib)
I'm sick of the same thing
Are you sure it's who I know because
I know a lot of people and no matter what I do
I keep going in circles, in circles
